Gilets & Vests
Gilets & Vests are indispensable pieces of kit. They provide warmth and wind protection for your torso but are cooler than a full jacket because your arms are left exposed.
Light weight you can carry them with you ready to put on if you stop or if the temperature drops. They vary in thickness and warmth depending on material. Windstopper fronted ones are particularly useful for keeping the wind off your chest and can be good as an additional layer over a jacket on the coldest of winter days.
Some light weight gilets have a mesh back, this is particularly useful if you are racing in cool weather as your number can be seen through. Look for full length zips, high collar, a good tight fitting shape and it's pack size for putting in a pocket.
